What Does Hyperlink Blocked Mean in Deltarune?
Written by Aarav Agarwal
The phrase [[Hyperlink Blocked]] shows up a lot during Spamton's dialogue in Deltarune, and it’s clearly being censored… but what it actually means is still debated.
The truth is, Toby Fox hasn’t confirmed anything, but fans have several strong theories that make sense based on how and when it shows up.
The Most Popular Theories
It Might Mean LOVE
This is the most common theory, and it connects back to Undertale’s definition of LOVE: Level of Violence.
In the Snowgrave route, where Kris becomes violent and uses Noelle as a weapon, Spamton accuses you of “making [[Hyperlink Blocked]]” right after you kill enemies and gain power.
So it fits: Spamton thinks you’ve found a better source of power, and he feels tossed aside. It’s abusive, twisted, and exactly the kind of language the game likes to play with.
Or Maybe It Means Choice
Another idea is that [[Hyperlink Blocked]] means choice. Lines like “You want A CHOICE, don’t you?” and “You’ve been making [[Hyperlink Blocked]]!” pop up during scenes where Kris takes control or breaks expectations.
Since Deltarune leans into the illusion of choice theme, this could be a jab at the player’s attempts to break free... or Spamton’s.
Or It’s Just Censorship
Some people believe the phrase is literal. The Dark World is built on things like library computers and phones. Spamton used to be a salesman linked to the “phone guy” (maybe Gaster), and his speech may be filtered or auto-censored by leftover systems.
So [[Hyperlink Blocked]] might just mean he’s not allowed to say it. Think of it like his access to certain data or emotions being locked off.
Something Metaphorical?
A few deeper theories say it might be about freedom or even the soul. Since hyperlinks are connections, some interpret the phrase as a metaphor for Kris cutting ties with Spamton or the larger system controlling the world.
It could also relate to the idea of spam and ads being blocked by firewalls. Spamton’s whole identity is basically a corrupted hyperlink.
Why It’s Never Fully Explained
Spamton himself never acts like he’s confused by it. He talks like he knows what he’s saying. That adds to the mystery… Maybe he’s so used to being censored he doesn’t even notice it anymore.
Or maybe we’re not supposed to know exactly what it means yet.
Whatever the case, there are loads of YouTube videos with theories. Go check ‘em out!
Final Blurb
[[Hyperlink Blocked]] might mean LOVE, choice, censorship, or something more abstract... and honestly, it could be all of the above. The point is, whatever it is, it’s powerful, dangerous, and something Spamton wanted you to get from him.
And once you got it somewhere else, he lost control; that’s what really broke him.
FAQ
Q: Is [[Hyperlink Blocked]] confirmed to mean LOVE?
No, it’s just a theory. But the timing lines up with scenes involving Kris gaining violent power in the Snowgrave route.
Q: Could it mean choice or freedom instead?
Yes, other lines suggest Spamton is talking about choices or control. Both themes run deep in Deltarune.
Q: Why is it blocked?
Spamton may be censored by leftover systems, or by some higher power (like Gaster or the “phone guy”) keeping him in check.
Q: Does the player block the hyperlink?
It’s possible. Kris or the player may be the one cutting Spamton off—either literally or metaphorically.
Q: Will it be explained in later chapters?
Most likely. Spamton’s censorship and his link to the game’s bigger mysteries will probably return in future chapters.
